The Winter Concert Series continues Saturday, March 15th with the KGB Band. “Motown is forever,” says Gerald Foster keyboardist for KGB, one of just a few Motown tribute bands working in metro Detroit. They’re frequent favorites at the MGM Grand Detroit Casino. Instrumentalist and bandleader Foster plays live keyboards and triggers via laptop tracks he recorded and mixed to re-create Motown hits. Glenn McFarland is the baritone, Keith Dotson and Bruce Sims tenors. The music is straight-up Motown with an electronic base. Dotson, McFarland and Sims produce three-part harmonies effortlessly and with a lot of love. You’ll hear a healthy sampling of Motown hits and other pop songs. It’s the show-stopping Temps-n-Tops medley, though, that knocks ‘em out every time. Their matching suits, in vibrant colors, sparkling coordinated costumes are also reminiscent of the originals. This band will get you up and dancing.

The Winter Concert Series wraps up Saturday April 5th with the Rock Show tribute featuring Tommy K. This bands salutes and pays tribute to 70’s and 80’s rock. They put on an energetic and entertaining show. You’ll be singing along to all the great tunes!
